Carson Palmer is the most OVERPAID QB in NFL history

[King Taharqa]

Vick is an over rated piece of sh*t. All you have to do is compare Palmer's and Vick's stats and it's not even close. Palmer's completion percentage is 63.7. Vick never had a completion percentage higher than 56. Palmer's QB rating is 88.9. Vick's is 75.7. Palmer averages 3,000 - 4,000 yards a year, Vick can't even touch 3,000.

Btw, Vick didn't bring the Falcons national visibility. I believe Jamal Anderson did that when they went to the Super Bowl. The only reason the media loved Vick was because he could put up a good highlight reel even though he sucked as a QB. So if you wanna talk marketing, yeah Vick was better at that. If you wanna talk about who is the better QB on the football field, Palmer owns Vick no contest.

Palmer's passing stats are better than Ben Rothlisberger's too. You gonna tell me he's a better QB than him too? That completion percentage and QB rating has earned Palmer a losing record as a NFL starter, 1 playoff berth, and no playoff victories in 5 years of starts. Keep in mind he's had 1 all pro WR, 1 pro bowl WR, and a a RB who averaged over 1,300 yards for 3 straight seasons. And the guy still couldnt win!!!! LMAO!!! Vick also managed to make more pro bowls than Palmer has (3 to Palmer's 2). Vick didnt bring the Falcons national visibility? Wow. When was Jamal Anderson on the cover of Madden? Was Jamal Anderson the reason the Falcons averaged 3 prime time games a year from 03-06? Palmer doesnt do none of that for his team, the guy is not a "star" in this league. He doesnt guarantee Cincy MNF games. He doesnt sell jerseys outside of his market. He's an above average QB who's paid like a GREAT QB is and no one ever puts the honus on him to take Cincy to the next level. Hell our own QB takes more criticism and has more pressure on him than Carson, and he's paid alot less and has actually won big games.

Nah, King Joke just wants to make this yet another race issue. He's upset cause Palmer makes more than McNabb.

Why do you always try to derail my threads? If Im such a joke, tell me why you always are in every thread I make? I said he makes more than Brady & Manning too, but you only saw McNabb. Gee, I wonder why. KillerKat why do you hate black people?

[King Taharqa]

If Kimo von Oelhoffen doesn't roll on Palmer's leg in that WC game, I don't think we're having this discussion.

Thats debatable. He's had 3 seasons since to get Cincy back there and he hasnt done it. How long is his name gonna be associated with the guys like Brady, Manning, McNabb, Rivers, etc. who have?

[Purity-Control]

I think he signed that extension back in 05 after a great season when everyone thought he was going to future superstar.

Its not a perfect system your not always paid based on preformance, but sometimes potential and other times the man signing your checks is is bat sh*t crazy :out:

Just because the Raiders are paying Javon Walker $55milion don't make him better then Larry Fitzgerald

I'll respectfully disagree. Palmer is far more overrated and overpaid. There have always been vocal critics of Vick's game and those who didnt feel he was a good QB. The fact its so difficult to get an emotionless unbiased objective view of him as a player and QB on this board is evidence of that fact. He still somehow managed to win playoff games, post a winning percentage as a starter, bring a pooty franchise like the Falcons national visibility, sold alot of jerseys, and kept the GA Dome sold out every year for 5 years. Arthur Blank made alot of money off of MV7. Is Palmer that kinda draw? Does Cincy sell out every game? Does Palmer sell alot of jerseys? Is Nike offering him deals to pitch shoes? With Vick's huge salary you could at least partially chalk it up to a business investment even though I agree he was overpaid. With Palmer, what do you chalk it up 2? Lets be real, Palmer is not the "star" that Vick was, and he's not as good as guys like Brady & Manning, yet he's paid waaaaay more than them, and he receives little fanfare for it. With that kinda salary I dont wanna hear poo about his head coach, or his defense, the guy should be bringing Cincy more prosperity than he has. The buck should stop with him if he's the true leader of that franchise.

I am going to have to agree with KT on this one...the amount of money Vick generated for the Falcons in tickets sales, jersey sales, TV revenue, etc. was unbelievable. Vick was a gold mine for Arthur Blank all things considered. From a $$$ standpoint, that may have been one of the best signings in history. Like him or not, Vick was a cash machine for that franchise.

Can't have a Palmer smack thread without this pic.

[King Taharqa]

WTH@that pic? Worst ad ever! LOL.

[Fireball77]

Palmer is a little Cali strange. I remember when they asked him if he licks his fingers before he passes and he said no because he thinks the pesticides they use on natural grass will kill his fertility.

You ever think about the whole team Palmer has around him? Yeah he had a good offense to work with, but the Bengals defense has always been crap.

Vick was a crappy QB and was over rated cause people liked to see him run. That's it. You're actually gonna bring the Pro Bowl into this? The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest, its a joke. And if you're talking playoffs, like someone else has already mentioned, If Palmer's leg didn't get rolled up on, we would be talking a different story here. And woww the Falcons had 2 playoff births to the Bengals 1. That's amazing!

Palmer was a top 5 QB who could play well against top defenses. Vick was exposed when he played against top defenses. He was a good runner and below average QB who ESPN constantly coddled cause of his running ability. All you can talk about is Vick's marketability. But on the field, Vick couldn't hold Palmer's jock strap.

not to mention Vick left them high and dry without a QB after what was a much profitable partnership and if it wasn't for the quick emergence of Matt Ryan the Falcons would be in the cellar again.
